According to a tweet by comic publisher IDW, we won’t just read comics on the PSP, we’ll hear them as well. At least we’ll hear people talking about them. “Editing more audio tracks from @Templesmith (Ben Templesmith) for Wormwood on the PSP,” one tweet noted. A subsequent message clarified the nature of the audio: “Recording more @Templesmith commentaries tonight.”
The official PlayStation Digital Comics Twitter account (yes, we’re sourcing another tweet) pointed out the note, saying “I’m so pleased IDW are taking advantage of the optional audio sound track(s) available to publishers.” We agree — it’s nice to know that the PSP Digital Comics service will add something to the medium beyond a different interface.

If you’re on the fence about Sony’s upcoming PSP Digital Comics service, the PlayStation UK blog has a few more sampler comics to decide whether the feature piques your interest. Available for lucky users in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are two sampler comics, featuring the service’s highly touted Autoflow feature — which mimics the way your eyes read a page. Following the release of the PSP’s 6.20 firmware, PlayStation released comic samples of Transformers: All Hail Megatron and Aleister Arcane.
Free sample first-issues of Star Trek: Enterprise Experiment and Astro Boy: The Movie Adaptation are available until December 16. In order to grab your sample, make sure to first download the Comic App via the “Extras” section of the XMB (or through this link) for your PSP and use the redemption codes available on PlayStation’s UK blog. Then prepare to use your amazing 3D hardware to … read!

Not to be overshadowed by its bigger brother, a new PSP firmware has gone live tonight. Update 6.20 adds the ability to export video and photo playlists from an updated version of Media Go. However, the biggest addition to this update is the PlayStation Network Digital Comics Reader in a new “Extras” section of the XMB. While the Reader can be downloaded tonight, the service won’t go live until December in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Japan will be getting a manga service slightly earlier. French, Italian, German and Spanish stores will follow in early 2010. Here’s the full change log:
- The importing of playlists from the Media Go application is now supported under [Video].
- The importing of playlists from the PlayStation 3 system or the Media Go application is now supported under [Photo].
- The [TV] category has been integrated into the new [Extras] category in the XMB menu. Compatible models: PSP-2000, PSP-2005, PSP-3000, PSP-N1000, PSP-N1005

Marvel executive Ira Rubenstein was super nice enough to give us a closer look at Sony’s new Digital Comics service for PSN at GamesCom — and we repay him by having a camera that apparently refuses to focus … sorry. The comics, which Marvel suggests should cost roughly $2 each (Sony has the final say on price), will become available in December.
The company isn’t currently discussing whether there will be a subscription model. The initial offering of comics will be from the “all audience” category, so we won’t be seeing any of the niche Marvel stuff just yet. You can’t really see it due to the focusing issue, but the PSP picture is beautiful. We’re looking forward to seeing more of the service.
